These excerpts taken from the JAS 10-K filed Apr 16, 2009. Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the
company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of those assets may not be recoverable. Factors
considered important that could trigger an impairment review
include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance
relative to historical or projected future operating results and
significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the
company’s overall business strategies. Potential impairment
exists if the estimated undiscounted cash flow expected to
result from the use of the assets is less than the carrying
value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss represents
the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair
value. Management estimates fair value based on a projected
discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that is
considered to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the
company’s current business model. Additional factors are
taken into consideration, such as local market conditions,
operating environment and other trends.

This excerpt taken from the JAS 10-K filed Apr 19, 2007. Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived
assets, except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate
the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Assets to
be disposed of are recorded at the lower of carrying value or
estimated net realizable value. We conduct this review on an
ongoing basis and record any required impairment charge. The
Company performed impairment tests during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007, fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005. Impairment cost for
closed stores is recorded in store pre-opening and closing and
impairment for stores still in operation is recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) on
the consolidated statement of operations. Asset impairments
include write-downs of fixed assets to their estimated fair
value for stores closed, or

scheduled to be closed, where impairment exists. The asset
impairment represents the difference between the asset carrying
value and the future net discounted cash flows estimated by the
Company to be generated by those assets. As a result of the
evaluation, impairments of $4.1 million, $3.0 million
and $0.6 million, respectively, were recorded, in fiscal
years 2007, 2006 and 2005 with respect to assets of certain
stores still in operation.
